Ideally, you will be able to get all the archival mails as a 'Unix mbox' format file. This can be imported directly into a list's pipermail archive using Mailman's bin/arch tool. There is also a bin/cleanarch tool which can check the mbox for unescaped 'From ' lines which can confuse bin/arch. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
